Springtime is officially here and so is the time to deep clean your home. Today I am going to show you how easy it is to deep clean your living room and dining room.

Did you know that the fourth Sunday in Mach begins National Cleaning Week? I only learned about this recently as a result of doing some “research” online. So now with the start of spring and National Cleaning Week, there’s never been a more perfect time to clean.

Why Deep Clean?

Deep cleaning gives us the opportunity to refresh our homes and renew our spirit. Living in a clean home brings about calmness and eliminates anxiety that can come from living in a cluttered environment. Now more than ever we need to create a feeling of peace within our home.

Depending on how your classify your main living space, the living room may be called a family room instead. For these two rooms, I’m going to group them together because they have similar features and are often next to each other.

Dust the Ceiling & Walls

As with every area of your house, you’re going to start deep cleaning your living room and dining room at the top of the walls. Pay attention to the corners where dust settles. Work your way around the room from left to right and use a long-handled Swiffer duster to reach to the top.

Lighting

Time to take down any overhead lighting globes and wash them with soap and water. Dry thoroughly before putting back in place. Depending on your type of lighting, you may need to dust the inside of the lights and/or wipe down with glass cleaner.

Disinfect light switches and wipe down lamps with a microfiber dusting cloth. Use a lint roller to dust lamp shades.
